Lovely home in a peaceful setting!

This was our second time staying at the Hilltop Retreat. The house is spacious - enough room for my family upstairs and my sister's family downstairs to spread out. We love the large open living room and deck for sitting. The hot tub is amazing. Everything was clean and comfortable and we hope to return again!

Great Place

We had a wonderful stay at the Hilltop Resort & Spa near Otisco Lake! The house is beautiful — the living spaces are incredibly comfortable and made it easy to relax and enjoy our time together. The outdoor areas are just as impressive, with plenty of space to spread out, unwind, and take in the stunning, peaceful view of the lake. It’s a very quiet spot, which made it even easier to truly unplug and relax.There are a couple of good restaurants nearby — we especially enjoyed The View and The Loft — and if you’re looking for even more options, Skaneateles is not too far away and makes for a great day trip.The owners were fantastic — very responsive and accommodating from start to finish. Any questions we had were answered quickly, and they clearly take pride in making sure their guests have a great experience.We’d definitely recommend this property to anyone looking for a peaceful, comfortable getaway with incredible lake views. We hope to come back again!

Our 2nd FIVE STAR STAY!

We returned here, this time with our Besties couple, because we LOVE so so so many aspects of this property from the STUNNING VIEW to the well-appointed kitchen! We greatly appreciate that there's 2 bedrooms with King size beds AND the privacy of separate floors & separate bathrooms!!! We thoroughly enjoyed the main attraction, the hot tub, of course! Our friends enjoyed the wood stove keeping us all warm inside. Did I mention, this place is dog friendly offering multiple size crates AND dog bowls!!! We also LOVE the proximity to Beak & Skiff, cute local towns to explore, breweries, wineries & cideries! If you are considering staying here, go for it!

Peacefull and beautiful

It was a hot week in June. loved the place and views. Kitchen upstairs a problem for my wife and sister in their seventies. Need another zone to spread cool to upstairs. Loved the well water. I live on a hill at home with well water and cant stand city water. Roads were fantastic with no traffic, although it is a long way to anywhere. Only 5 of us were able to make it, but was a good time.
